You deserve to feel at home in your body.
I believe everyone deserves to feel good in the body they were given, free from the standards given to us. I believe everyone deserves to feel good physically, mentally, and spiritually. I believe you deserve the support in your journey to bring back the joy of life.
I help you ditch dieting and improve physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Hi, I’m Emily
I’m a registered dietitian passionate about a whole-person approach to nutrition. I believe we are made up with body, mind, and spirit and this belief directs how I focus my services. I practice intuitive eating and gentle nutrition with a Health at Every Size approach.
Personal Bio
Everything starts in high school, right? My path to nutrition grew out of undiagnosed orthorexia, an eating disorder focused on an obsession with “healthy” habits. I avoided sweets, dairy (especially cheese), breads, pasta, and so many other delicious foods. In always trying to be in a negative calorie balance, I didn’t realize I was sucking the joy right out of my life.
Eating became an obsession - what I ate, when I ate, and how much I ate.
Let me just tell you, that’s no way to live.
Because of my obsession with “nutrition”, namely calories and what foods to be the “healthiest”, I found a degree in nutrition and looked into dietetics.
While finishing my degree, I was pregnant with my little girl. I graduated and entered into a dietetic internship, which brought another wave of stress on my mental health.
It was in this time of researching more about mental health and nutrition that I found intuitive eating and realized the importance of looking at my whole-self and finding the right balance between food, life, and community.
A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
